President Trump just delivered another massive win for American workers and businesses. His new executive order ends the unfair de minimis exemption that let foreign companies flood our markets with cheap goods without paying a single penny in tariffs. This loophole allowed packages under $800 to enter America completely tax-free while our own companies had to compete with one hand tied behind their backs.
The response from foreign countries has been swift and telling. Over 25 nations including Germany, Japan, France, and Australia have suspended their postal services to America rather than play by fair rules. These countries are throwing a tantrum because they can no longer take advantage of American consumers and undercut our domestic businesses. Their reaction shows just how much they were benefiting from this rigged system.
For decades, foreign postal services made billions shipping cheap products directly to American doorsteps while avoiding the taxes that American companies have to pay. This created an unlevel playing field that hurt American manufacturers and retailers who follow the rules. Trump is finally putting America First and making sure everyone pays their fair share.
The mainstream media is trying to spin this as bad news for consumers. They want you to believe that paying fair prices for goods is somehow harmful to America. What they refuse to tell you is that this executive order will bring jobs back to America and help our small businesses compete again.
Foreign companies have been gaming our system for years with help from weak politicians who cared more about globalist trade deals than American workers. Trump is ending this scam once and for all. When foreign businesses want to sell in America, they need to follow American rules and pay American taxes just like everyone else.
Some countries are already backing down from their shipping suspensions as they realize they need American customers more than we need their cheap imports. Japan Post is still allowing personal gifts under $100, showing they understand they cannot afford to lose access to the world’s largest consumer market. Other nations will follow suit soon enough.
This is exactly the kind of bold leadership America needs. While career politicians talked about fair trade for decades, Trump actually delivers results that put American interests first. Our domestic manufacturers and retailers now have a real chance to compete without being undercut by foreign companies dodging taxes.
The global shipping suspension shows the world how dependent other countries are on selling to Americans. When we demand fair treatment, they scramble to find workarounds rather than simply following our rules. This proves that America holds all the cards in global trade when we have a president willing to use our economic strength to protect American workers.
